Seo Master present to you:
This post is by Scott Knaster of Google Developer Relations. Scott works on technical docs at Google and is editor of this very blog. Scott is a fan of baseball and hockey, but finds it challenging when their seasons overlap.

It’s been a very light posting week here on the Google Code Blog. While our author community was focused on other work this week, I picked out a few items you might have missed.

If you use the goo.gl URL shortener, you might be interested in new features that were added this week, including automatically selecting newly created short URLs so you can copy them more easily. If you create a lot of goo.gl URLs, and you use Chrome, check out this handy Chrome extension that makes short URL creation extremely easy. Or, write your own code using our Google URL Shortener API.

Here’s one especially for my fellow writers. Google Docs now does pagination, which enables some related improvements too. This is useful when writing user’s guides, school papers, or other documents that might have to be printed. Just last week I was working on a doc and wishing for this feature, and now here it is, proving the old adage “Wishing makes it so”.

On a more serious note, it’s now been more than a month since a devastating earthquake and tsunami struck Japan. Here’s an update on crisis response and relief efforts, and a way you can help simply by posting messages of support for the people of Japan.

Finally, I want to share the coolest hack I saw all week: a wedding invitation that includes a paper record and player. Beautiful!

This post is one in a series that previews Google I/O, our biggest developer event in San Francisco, May 28-29. Over the next two months, we'll be highlighting sessions and speakers to give Google Code blog readers a better sense of what's in store for you at the event. - Ed.

We recently launched the Google Visualization API, which lets you access multiple sources of structured data that you can display with a large number of different visualizations. The API also provides a platform that can be used to create, share, and reuse visualizations.

For structured data, a big part in making information useful is enabling the visualization and analysis of the data in various ways and manners so we can gather insights from it. From the novice user to the highly trained professional, a chart often provides more insight, faster than any table of data does. Yet the process for matching data to a visualization is still laden with barriers. Integration with specific visualizations is very often an arduous process and finding the right provider of the visual package you need is hard.

The Google Visualization API aims to solve many of these problems. The API is simple to use, making integration quick and painless. Its openness makes it appealing because once a visual component is written it can be used on any supported data source. That means both the visual developer and the data source owner benefit.

By involving the wider developer community we can create a huge inventory of visual applications that fit every need. Just a few weeks after launch, developers have already created interesting visualizations like the piles of money gadget, organizational chart and motion chart.

At Google I/O, our senior engineers will teach you how to quickly and easily write an application using the Google Visualization API. We will work together to build a simple gadget and we will go over the the fine issues and potential pitfalls so you can save yourself even more time when you start writing your own applications over the API.

We also highly recommend you attend the "Advanced Gadget and UI Development Using Google AJAX APIs" session. With the combination of the two, you will have the toolset to making world-class visual applications and gadgets.

We look forward to seeing you at Google I/O in May. In the meantime, come visit us and join the budding, yet growing community using the API.2013, By: Seo Master
